For 13 years Electrikhana was an opportunity for the WA branch of AEVA to put people in the front seat of an electric vehicle (quite literally). Now that most dealerships have their latest electric cars, motorcycles and e-bikes available for test-drives, the need for a dedicated test-drive day is reduced. 

But the knowledge gap that exists between prospective or new EV owners and those of us who are well familiar with the technology remains. So this year, Electrikhana will be replaced by a series of workshops held at the Canning River Eco Education Centre, on the banks of Djarlgarro Beelier (Canning River).

We'll have talks in the centre on which EVs are available and what they're capable of, where to charge, how to charge, the enormous health and environmental benefits of reducing our transport impacts, and of course for the keen, how to convert vehicles to electric drive.

Presentations, show-and-tells, demonstrations and more will be on offer from 11 am to 4 pm at the Canning River Eco Education Centre.
